His sleeping in an overheated room was nothing new. He had done so before.

Was it because he was always cold?

wow, some tough love here...co-sign and thanks for saying it...

Remember what Lenny Kravitz said - was it April 21 or the day after - he said in a radio interview that he thought he knew what happened. If Prince committed suicide, I don't think Lenny knew that would happen, but I believe he knew Prince was addicted, and he supposed it was a drug overdose. So it wasn't just the people in Prince's employ who knew.

Thanks for bringing this important quote back into the conversation...

Perhaps a hair of thought might be given that direction as to why the case was Investigated so poorly. We keep questioning why the case was handled so shoddly. Just saying.

A hair of thought is exactly what you need. Are you seriously playing the fucking race card here? And insinuating this investigation by Barney Fife was inept because ALL parties involved were black? Get a phucking grip already

In the early days after P's passing, I remember remarks in the press about the death scene looking staged or tampered with. Perhaps there was something about the scene that made the officials classify K as an offender, and/or as someone said, whatever K initially said to the authorities. (What caused the stain on the rug that Theo refers to that KJ wanted immediately removed).

Also, the investigation, IMO, required a seasoned, veteran investigator, willing to dig deep, not affected by celebrity or P, (maybe somewhat by P), someone knowing more about the entertainment business, not too nice or afraid to offend -- a Colombo.

that someone who said that was me. Agreed on not only a seasoned investigator on the case initially and throughout- but this should've been handed over to the FBI off the bat. They knew they were in over their heads.

does anyone know if there's any way to get this case reopened???

che777x said:

I think it could be re-opened if some extraordinary evidence was found, or someone made a new statement about the death ... I don't think the family is focused on finding out exactly what happened but if some bigtime investigator could dig into this, maybe new information would be unearthed. Or an author writing a book about it - where is Ian Halperin when you need him? I know he has a questionable reputation, but he or someone like him would be the one to dig through everything.

ISLIJAG.

From what the press conference inferred in April, unless new evidence/leads come up-no, it will not be re-opened. BUT, I wish there was a way to charge those involved with incompetence and have it turned over to the FBI....Like ISLIJAG has said before in the past, we do not have access to the DEA files, so there's that.

In that same vein, we need to remember that Prince told KJ ' I can't kick this...' on 4/20/16. It's in the investigative files.

There wasn't enough evidence to press charges, so what's the point?

Barney Fife and Columbo couldn't 'find enough evidence'. If this case would've been in the hands of competent investigators from the get go- maybe that would not have been the case. Have you even read the files to understand exactly how incompetent these gum shoe detectives were??

This is what Kravitz said: "I saw him so much, in and out, that I can’t remember the last time we spoke. I heard about the plane landing the other week. And I knew what it was. I thought, “Okay, he dodged a bullet. Close call, but it’s a one-off and we move on.” And then a week later, I got the news. It knocked me really out. I still haven’t really recovered. Not to be dramatic or overly sensitive, but I really feel like a piece of me died."

This interview with Krvitz was done by Jonsey on the day of Prince's death. The underlined words are not Kravitz's- unless he regurgitated the same story with a different interviewer I am unaware of.

I think the "one off" comment came from Lenny believing Prince could handle his addiction because he had been handling it for years. Now, over the past two years we have learned there were some hospital visits along the way which the public didn't know about, but you can be sure there was chatter in the music industry. As another poster said, this is the music business - "they" have seen it all a hundred times over.
